    Perhaps we tried them at a bad time, as it was technically between lunch and dinner, but the best items were the drinks, bruchetta, and desserts. The short ribs were dry and fatty, whereas every place else where these are served, like Musso's, these fell off the bone and were moist and tender. The vegetables served with the short ribs were chewy and not editable. The pasta I ordered was served with the wrong sauce, but they insisted it was correct and had mushrooms, but they were ground up in the sauce., I sent it back as it was loaded with red pepper flakes and burned my mouth. These were listed on the menu for Arribatta sauce but not the Pomodoro I ordered. Also, the men's room situation is kind of strange where you have to treck out of the restaurant into an adjoining building and use a code on the door to enter the men's room. Rather strange for a high-end place. The ladies' room was in the restaurant, but they didn't have a men's room adjacent to it. Again, some of this could be the time of day, but the men's room sitch seems sus. I'm not going back any time soon. 😞

    The service and food were excellent. Pollo Mi Piace is my favorite main course and it was cooked to perfection. Minestrone soup was satisfying. I ended my meal with the Chocolate Trio, which was refreshing. I always enjoy my dining experience at Mi Piace, and will return for future meals at this restaurant!

    Excellenct waiter and the host was very courteous when we called to say we would be 10 minutes late. They had a great table next to a window waiting for us upon arrival. The food, as usual, was very good. Mi Piace' is our "go to" restaurant in Pasadena.

    Very pleasant environment and nice service. But the food was just so so, which is hard to justify with Italian cuisine.

    So I brought my 2 daughters and my wife for their birthday only to be told from now on the cheap A_s owner does nothing for birthday celebrations but give a 20% discount if you want to order desserts. How expensive can it be to slap a scoop of ice cream or piece of cheese cake with a candle on it. Won't be coming here for any celebrations any longer. How cheap can you be!!
